Another find at Auntie’s home. This little figurine sat lonely on a table. I wanted to evoke soft childhood memories and make it appear to be separated from its stand, like a runaway carousel horse.

This is a shot of my Mom reading the paper in the morning. It's something she does every morning. This is a totally candid shot; she did not know I was photographing her because I was carrying on with my usual morning routine but secretly had the iphone in my robe pocket. I didn't do much post-processing on this (the original image was slightly blurry)....just cleaned it up in BeFunky and pulled it into Portray which gives this soft charcoal effect. 

A favorite from my Ugly Beauties series. She’s like a Diana Ross caricature. I LOVE how the Repix drips create tear-induced mascara smears. The amazing thing about the Ugly Beauties series is that every image evolved from just one mannequin photo. Check out my workflow on a similar piece {Cracked}.

This is another lucky shot from my Drive By Shootings series. I experimented with adding light (using Lens Flare) from the light fixture but I prefer the stillness of this edit and the moody, noir feel. If you look VERY closely, you can see the wires connect to the telephone pole in the distance.
